The goal of defeating al Qaeda is within sight, we have killed Osama Bin Laden, and the President has now signed an agreement with Afghanistan that details a new relationship in which the Afghans will soon be responsible for the security of their nation. As we look towards that future, we must also focus on the type of nation our troops return to. This is why the President called on Congress to take the money we are no longer spending at war, use half of it to pay down our debt, and use the other half to rebuild America. It’s time for America to make the choices that ensure a strong middle class where everyone a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules.

American troops have a long and noble tradition of humanitarian service. From distributing candy bars and care packages to street children, to offering medical and dental care to the poor, to building churches and orphanages in third world countries, these American men and women commit thousands of hours to the service of others around the world, without expectation of gratitude or praise.

From distributing candy bars and care packages to street children, to offering medical and dental care to the poor, to building churches and orphanages in third world countries, these American men and women commit thousands of hours to the service of others around the world, without expectation of gratitude or praise. GOD AND COUNTRY profiles these heroes and their missions, and reveals a side of the military rarely mentioned in the mainstream media. The film also profiles the extraordinary character of Bradley T. 'Brad' Arms, a Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity brother at the University of Georgia who enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and ultimately gave his life so that others may live free of tyranny. Brad was a Marine, but also a man of strong faith who dedicated his life to the service of his fellow man.
